Here is a list I have put together recently.

My favorites books that are not under copyright:

The Shepherd of Bethlehem, King of Israel, by ALOE (Charlotte Maria Tucker)

The Giant Killer (Robyn family series book #1) by ALOE (Charlotte Maria Tucker)

The Battle (Robyn family series book #2) by ALOE (Charlotte Maria Tucker)

The Haunted Room [Nothing supernatural; it is symbolic] by ALOE (Charlotte Maria Tucker)

In His Steps by Charles M. Sheldon * (somewhat encourages voting/government in the end, but can be easy corrected by a teacher)

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan Paired with The Celestial Railroad by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Peep Behind the Scenes by O.F. Walton

The Children’s Tabernacle by ALOE (Charlotte Maria Tucker)

Basket of Flowers by Christoph von Schmid

Hedge of Thorns by Mary M Sherwood

That Printer of Udell Harold Bell Wright * (somewhat encourages voting/government in the last            chapter, but can be removed with little effect on the story)

Animal Farm by George Orwell

Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

 

My favorite books that are under copyright:

The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom

Tales of the Kingdom Trilogy by David and Karen Mains

Hinds Feet in High Places by Hannah Hurnard

Most books by Elizabeth Elliot

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

 

Nonfiction:

Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman

Young Men and Fire by Norman Maclean

 

Drama:

An Inspector Calls by J. B. Priestly

Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller * this play is a negative example- What not to be like

 

 

Questionable books

Lord of the Flies by William Golding This shows that humans all have a great tendency towards evil without God and His commandments (Is this book appropriate for Anabaptists?)
